It is late on the evening of Tuesday the 15th. We traveled from Gallup, NM to Williams without any problems. As we left Gallup I had to take a picture of the Kokopelli statues at the office. They were very nice and would be great in a garden.
The scenery is mainly scrub trees and rocky hills as we went on route 40 to Williams. The ride can get a little boring so I spent some time on my nook reading "Watering the Elephants." It is a very interesting book. The main character is a ninety some year old man in a nursing home and how he remembers his life as a vet. with a circus. The book gets a little "racey" at times but it is quite interesting since I spent so much time caring for the elderly.
Below are some pictures of our trip::
A large rock formation as we were almost at the Arizona line.
Interesting rock. We have seen so many different rock formations on our trip which makes you really interested how these formations have occured. It has to be a Masterwork of Art by the Lord.
More works of art--notice some snow is still on the rocks even though it is in the 50's.
View of the mountain as we approch Flagstaff.
When we arrived in Williams we did not see the mountain anymore. I was hoping we would be able to see it each morning. After setting up and eating lunch we went to the visitors center so we can plan our visit in Arizona. We have not come up with the complete plan as of yet but will probably go to the Grand Canyon in the morning. It is supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow and they are expecting rain on Saturday and Sunday.
Route 66 goes right down the main part of town--it is a very busy street and the storefronts are well kept and are open for business. There are a lot of motels and restaurants in town. They also have a quilt shop. I am sure I will put the shop on our list of activities.
Time to close. Hope to write again tomorrow.
